Shan's Nihari Spice is the best, I usually buy 4-5 boxes at a time when I make my way to our local south asian grocer. I use it in everything, pretty much! My dad makes the best Nihari, although I did do a really good job ONCE. Dumb luck.
I hav just made nihari................n let me tell you it tastes delicious........hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........i really want to thank you for sharing this recipe with us........once again thx alot....
Great post, have to try it, i tried your spinach n aloo, it turn out so Good, its a saturday morning breakfast in our home, thank you so much for your efforts.
@satishtyagi1 Sure you can use lamb. But lamb cooks quicker so you have to adjust timing. You can even use chicken if you prefer. Again timing will be adjusted.
Thanks guys, and also I recently read that chineese star anise can actually cause neurological problems but japanese star anise is the one to use, however, how can you know which is which? That was for the person who said they add star anis in thier nihari
Awesome - we Hindus cook Kharoday, or Goat trotters, pretty much exactly the same way - I am assuming Shan Masala has the same things Hindus use - Laung, elaichi, dalchini, tezpatta, javitri, jaiphal (nutmeg & mace) kali(gol)mirch chilli/coriander/turmeric powder etc
Hi, I just wanted to understand for sure-in your written directions on the side you put 1/2 tsp sauf (anis seed) but someon in the comments said sauf is fennel seeds; I asked my husbnd he said yeh fennel, so which is it? Cause those are very different spices!
@carpediem43 copied from Wikipedia '' In Indian cuisine, no distinction is made between anise and fennel. Therefore, the same name (saunf) is usually given to both of them. Some use the term patli (thin) saunf or velayati (foreign) saunf to distinguish anise from fennel''
I hope this clears the saunf problem up once and for all lol
@celticraider1 It seems like your trying to be sarcastic, but I was the original one who asked just to get it cleared up so what are you talking about? Get right
i made this and it came out sooo good alhamdulillah [i guess it's the shan hehe]. instead of cooking it for hours though, i used a pressure cooker--that's fine too right? and it's hard to get all the fat/charbi out.....do u just keep it? i tried cleaning/cutting as much as i could, but it was a lot--to be honest i don't even know if i used beef/cow.....lol.....
Garam masala means hot spices, they are cloves, peppercorns, black cardamon, white cardamon, cinamon stick, [tej patta] cinamon leaf don't worry if you can't find cinamon leaves..
And to the one who asked about oxtail's and pork, no it would not work or taste authentic, pork is to dry, and oxtail's too much bone.. but lamb shanks work ok but don't cook for more than 3 hours
Thanks for the great tip, but the tarka or bhagar, usual nihari we eat at nihari specialists are oil and some sort of chilly etc i never see any onion in it.
Secondly I have a suggestion can you put the direction in written along with the ingredient.
Thank you for responding! I asked if I could substitute the beef shank with something. Strangely I've seen ox-tails and pork neck bones - would that work? How important to the taste of the dish is the bone marrow? I've never seen beef shank.
carpediem ur the best cook n demonstrator i've ever seen..please tell where u from in pakistan n where u live...how did u learn cookin..please answer i m big fan of urs...
Thank you so much for this. I fell in love with nihari when I lived in New York City, but I've moved to a town where there are no restaurants that make it. I had found some recipes on the the web, but they were never right. Your recipe and instructions are RIGHT ON!
Thank you so much i never thought I could make nihari ..may be cause its too difficult but after watching this video I'll try some day. i love nihari & payee!
I am very much impressed by your recipes, simple and delicious. All steps are correct and timely.
Sis, I need recipe for authentic Murgh cholay of Lahore. I still remember Lahori murgh cholay of Lakshmi chowk, Lahore, city of my education.
Thanx a lot for all efforts you take in your videos to make them clear, presentable and useful for people like us who cook themselves being alone or when become tired of hotels.
Nihari with oil floating on top will always look more tempting,but ofcourse its not healthy at all.that's why we make it at home to choose our oil levels.
you're very good at cooking for a british pakistani. mostly those born here do not know how to cook and are very disconnected with their asian culture and cuisine. impressive!
kirbybl, they are also called fennel seeds. If you see the variety from Lucknow, they are very popular. They are green in color and look a little similar to caraway seeds in my opinion. I love to use them in tea when I have a sore throat.
